Molestation Charges Against Cosby Dropped

The misdemeanor charges for annoying or molesting a child, filed against Bill Cosby in a civil lawsuit by Judy Huth, have been rejected by the LA prosecutors.

The decision came after Huth spoke to the LAPD for about 90 minutes and after the prosecutors decided that the lawsuit is blocked by the statute of limitations.

In misdemeanor cases, the statute of limitations is one year and for a felony sex crime that took place in 1974, the statute of limitations is three years. Therefore, as Huth’s lawyer stated, it is probable that the charges were dropped because of that legal obstacle, not because of the validity of her claims.
